How does that site work which has every bitcoin address listed. Does it just generate those on the fly based on the page number?

- palkeo 13y agoYes, I think so. It just couldn't have generated the list before, it's just not feasible.
- kapkapkap 13y agoFWIW, the footer says 'It took a lot of computing power to generate this database. Donations welcome: 1Bv8dN7pemC5N3urfMDdAFReibefrBqCaK;'.
- TallboyOne 13y agoTheres also only 10^77 atoms in the universe, and I think 10^80 bitcoin hashes... I think that footer note is being facetious.
- nthj 13y agoThey might cache the first n pages, too.
